Congress Holds Hearing On Unidentified Flying Objects

By Susie Madrak — July 26, 2023

A House panel is holding another congressional hearing today on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), also known as UFOs. Via CNN:

Lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs will hear public testimony from three individuals who previously served in the US military at 10 a.m. ET. The witnesses include: David Grusch, a former intelligence officer in the US Air Force; David Fravor, a retired US Navy commander; and Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot.

The hearing is the latest push by lawmakers, intelligence officials and military personnel working on unexplained aerial phenomena to probe the issue on a national platform.

Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee said in a news release last week announcing the hearing that the witnesses would “provide public testimony because the American people deserve the truth.”

At previous congressional hearings, lawmakers have pressed the Department of Defense on the sightings, describing them as potential national security threats.

Great, but I hope the hearing will cover what action Congress is taking to verify the claims of David Grusch (and other whistleblowers), because unlike the multifactorial nature of UAP sightings, there's no middle ground with Grusch's claims, which are either true or false.
